Another question: I'm the maintainer of a web-parsing module written in Perl5: Finance::Quote. It makes extensive use of HTML::TreeBuilder and HTML::TableExtract. Should I already consider to write it in Perl6 with grammars or should I wait for some kind of HTML parser to be written in P6 ?

I have been thinking about picking up WWW::Mechanize and thought about writing an HTML Grammar... but HTML doesn't really lend itself to Grammars because bad HTML is considered OK and XHTML never caught on.

I don't know about anybody else but I don't really feel that it's appropriate for the rakudo star release manager to be actively trying to piss off the entire perl5 community: https://github.com/rakudup/rakudup.github.io

I don't normally consider people's politics relevant to technical matters, but in terms of the application of poe's law to what's clearly intentionally nasty trolling, it seems relevant in this specific case; I have no issue with people having whatever politics they prefer but I do prefer them to stay out of technical matters

I see your point, at the same time I think everyone should be entitled to having a public opinion about something they're also connected to in a more official capacity, as long as it's not officially advertised / clearly affiliated / sponsored

I believe everyone should be entitled to have a public opinion, but at the same time I'm still entitled to a public opinion that this is inappropriate divisive bullcrap that will only achieve prolonging and exacerbating the recent futile drama

jast: fwiw, i'd suggest using a hash that can't be easily sped up by using the GPU, so that a potential DDoSer can't just implement your hash 1000x faster than any legit client would and overload your server anyway
